ARNAULT A. V., “Fables / de l’Institut Imperial, de l’Academies de Madrid, etc., etc., etc.”, edité par Imp. de Gille Fils, 1812. Duodecimo in period pink paper binding, as published. Original edition of this collection of Fables, illustrated with a curious fold-out plate that undoubtedly refers to the adage of another fabulist Jean de La Fontaine: ‘I use animals to educate people’. The author, a French politician, poet and playwright, was, among other things, appreciated for his fables, whose tone is often satirical, which prompted Scribe, his successor at the Academy, to say: ‘It was Juvenal who became a fabulist... Florian has been accused of having too many sheep in his flocks; perhaps in Mr. Arnault’s fables there are too many wolves’. Visible edge wear, clean and tight inside. Uncut copy. Lot. 3015
